Let's Make Way For Avenue


A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from Island Records recommending me a new boy band. Their name is Avenue. Their names are Andy, Max, Scott, Ross and Jonny. I got curious, as such a label wouldn´t advertise a band unless they were pretty confident of possible success and that they had some good quality. I checked out their first single 'Last Goodbye' out of interest then and I was quite impressed. The music quite upbeat and energetic and some of the boys can actually sing. Some of them seem pretty good looking too, so the mix of all makes quite a possible success formula. Let´s see if they make it to the charts, as their single was supposed to have been released in September and at day today no sign of them in the charts. But did they really appear out of the blue? A bit of their story.

They tried to take part in the X Factor talent show. They did very well as they got to boot camp. But it seems they had some kind of management before they entered the contest and that was breaking one of the golden rules of the show, so they effectively got desqualified. They fortuantely were not forgotten and they got together some good producers and a contract with a good label and good A&R. And today I´m telling you about them as it looks like they could make it. I will keep you posted if they do. For now enjoy their first single 'Last Goodbye'.

Anastacia Can Feel You

The little lady with the huge voice, Anastacia, is back and ready to storm through anything in her way! This is the first single, 'I Can Feel You', from her upcoming album 'Heavy Rotation', which will be released on 27th October In Europe and Asia. The rest of the world during 2009. Surprising how an American has such huge success in Europe but not in her own country which so much talent as she has. Delight your ears with her new song produced and written by Ne-Yo.

La pequeña dama con gran voz, Anastacia, vuelve lista a arrollar todo lo que se ponga en su camino. Este es su primer sencillo, 'I Can Feel You', de su nuevo album 'Heavy Rotation' que saldra a la venta el 27 de Octubre en Europa y Asia. En el resto del mundo a partir del 2009. Es curioso como una cantante con tanto talento no tiene tanto exito en su propio pais. Deleitar vuestros oidoscon su nueva cancion producida y escrita por Ne-Yo.

Tamia, The Canadian Jewel

Surfing the internet I bumped into this video. Tamia is a canadian singer with a beautiful voice, but unfortunately it seems only some of her songs made it into Europe. One of which was 'Stranger In My House'. The remix was a total scorcher back then. Below you can listen to her latest hit in the US, 'Me' y su remix, where you can listen her soulful voice and dramatic lyrics that remain the same as on her second album. Shame she doesn't come to Europe more often. Check out the huge difference there is between the original song and the remix. Two jewels in their areas.

Navegando por internet encontre este video. Tamia es una cantante canadiense con una bellisima voz, pero que desafortunadamente para que tan solo algunas de sus canciones llegan a Europa. Uno de sus hits fue 'Stranger In My House'. El remix fue un autentico bombazo a principios de este milenio. Aqui podeis escuchar su ultimo sencillo en USA, 'Me' y su remix, donde podeis escuhar su maravillosa voz y sus dramaticas letras. Un pena que no venga mas por Europa. Ved que diferencia hay entre la cancion original y el remix. Son dos joyas en sus propios campos.

Autumn Of News

As expected autumn brings lots of news. Some will be a killer for X-mas and some are already a success or have been during the summer. I won't say very much this time, but here is the list of what is getting more airplay these days and I'm liking the most. Enjoy.

Como es de esperar el otoño nos trae muchas novedades. Algunas daran el bombazo durante las navidades y otras han tenido mucho exito durante el verano. Esta vez no voy a decir mucho. Simplemente disfurtad de la musica que mas se oye en la radio ultimamente y la que mas me esta gustando ahora mismo.

'Solange Knowles - I Decided (Part 2 - Freemasons Remix)'


'Ne-Yo - Miss Independent'


'Madcon - Beggin'


'Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight (Moto Blanco Mix)'


'Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire (Live)'


'Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up'

Get Ready For Hurricane P!nk


Because Pink is back and sounds stronger than ever. Her previous studio effort 'I'm Not Dead' was wondeful and her upcoming album 'Funhouse', to be release during the autumn, seems ready to take over the world all over again with her first single 'So What' to be released in September in the UK. Watching the video you would think that she is totally bitter about her divorce from her ex-husband Carey Hart (Motocross Rider), but seeing that he is actually doing several cameos in it shows that they are still in the best of terms regardless of the divorce. This song is getting a lot of airplay already and in my humble opinion, it sounds great. Check for yourselves.

Pink esta de vuelta y suena mas fuerte que nunca. Su previo trabajo de estudio 'I'm Not Dead' fue fantastico y su proximo trabajo 'Funhouse', que se espera sea lanzado al mercado este otoño, parece listo para conquistar el mundo entero de nuevo con su primer single 'So What'. Viendo el video se podria pensar que esta furiosa con su ex-marido Carey Hart (piloto de motocross) despues de su divorcio a principios de año, pero viendo la cantidad de veces que el mismo aparece en el video, podriamos asegurar que son muy buenos amigos aunque se hayan divorciado. Esta cancion esta sonando en todas las emisoras de radio ahora mismo y, en mi humilde opinion, suena genial. Escuchadla y ver que opinais vosotros mismos.

Duffy, From Here To The End Of The Universe


Duffy will release my favourite song from her acclaimed debut album 'Rockferry'. I love this song and I think it's an absolute gem on today's music world. It will be released in the UK on 1st September 2008. It charted already at the beginning of 2008due to download sales, but the official release will be shortly. It seems her other song 'Serious' was the one to be release before this one, but just a few weeks ago this idea was discarded and taken the decision to release 'Steppting Stone' insteaad, which I think was the best choice possible. Submerge yourselves in this complete joy for your ears.

Duffy sacara muy pronto su cuarto sencillo de su aclamado album de debut 'Rockferry'. Es de calle mi cancion favorita de este album y me parece una absoluta joya en el mundo musical de hoy en dia. Este nuevo sencillo saldra a la venta el dia 1 de Setiembre en el Reino Unido, aunque parece que ya estuvo en los ranking de ventas a principios de 2008 debido a ventas por internet. Sin embargo el lanzamiento oficial sera el proximo mes. Al parecer se pretendia sacar primer otra de sus cancions, 'Serious', pero tomaron la acertada decision de cambiar de idea y sacar este en su lugar. Sumergiros en este delicado delirio para vuestros oidos.

Overdue News

Well, here are the hottest and what has caught my attention lately (which might not be the newest). After a little break without posting I will add some videos straight away and give story to what develpes the most, as there is definitely potential for big bangs here, as it is already Katy Perry (number 1 in the UK charts and was in the US) or Miley Cyrus in the US. There is a new Sugababes album to be release in October and their new single is already playing everywhere... However, I expected better than them than a cover, but hey, they make it sound great as usual. Let's hope the album is a lot more than this though. Enjoy!

Pues bueno, aqui estan las novedades y canciones que me han llamado la atencion ultimamente (no necesariamente nuevas). Despues de un descanso en el blog, aqui os traigo algunas cositas que pueden ser autenticos bombazos, pues tienen mucho potencial, como por ejemplo Katy Perry (numero 1 en el Reino Unido y USA) y Miley Cyrus en Estados Unidos. Tambien hay novedades de las Sugababes, que van a sacar nuevo disco en Octubre, y su nuevo single ya esta inundando las ondas de radio a todas horas... Sin embargo esperaba mas de ellas que una version de un clasico, aunque fantasticamente hecho, como siempre ellas consiguen. Esperemos que el nuevo disco traiga otras tantas maravillas como tiene su lista de exitos. Disfrutad!

'Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl'


'Miley Cyrus - 7 Things'


'Rihanna - Disturbia'


'Sharleen Spiteri - All The Times I Cried'


'Ida Maria - I Like You So Much Better When You Are Naked'


'Leona Lewis - Better In Time'

Kylie + Freemasons = Magic


Kylie's upcoming single will be the song 'The One' produced by the Freemasons, from her absolutely wonderful album 'X'. The Freemasons are everywhere where a good remix needs to be done, who to my eyes have become the Timbaland for dance music... but classier. In this case they are the producers though, and remixers too as you can expect. So to give a little freshness for the ones that already have the album here is the Freemasons Remix to Kylie's 'The One'. For the ones that don't have the album... what are you waiting for to get it?!

El proximo sencillo de Kylie sera la cancion 'The One', producida por los Freemasons, de su absolutamente maravillosos album 'X'. Los Freemasons estan en todas partes donde haga falta un buen remix y para mi se han convertido en el Timbaland de la musica de baile... pero con mas clase. Sin embargo en este caso ellos son los productores y tambien hacen el remix como os podeis imaginar. Asi que para dar un poco de aire fresco a los que ya tienen el disco aqui esta el Freemasons Remix de 'The One'. Para los que no teneis el disco... a que estais esperando para haceros con el?!

Sam Sparro finds himself in the 21st Century


Sam Sparro will release pretty soon his second single '21st Century Life'. For the ones that already have the album it's no news that this will be the second single as it is as good (or maybe better for some?) as 'Black & Gold'. From my point of view it's a better chance to appreciate what a fantastic vocal range Sam Sparro has. Shame they didn't make a big bang of the whole album, although it's worth a listen too. Judge for yourselves.

Sam Sparro sacara su segundo sencillo '21st Century Life' en breve. Para los que ya hayan escuchado su album entero no es ninguna sopresa que este sea su segundo lanzamiento, pues es tan bueno (o mas para algunos) como 'Black & Gold'. Desde mi punto de vista es una mejor opcion para poder apreciar realmente la capacidad vocal de Sam Sparro. Es una pena que no hayan aprovechado y hecho el disco entero una autentica bomba, aunque vale la pena escucharlo. Juzgad por vosotros mismos.

Freemasons New Single 'When You Touch Me'

Freemasons have released just recently their new single 'When You Touch Me'. It's already inside of the top 40 UK Chart and has the usual class and wonderful female voice that Freemasons usually bring us. Enjoy it, I think it's another absolute delight from them.

Los Freemasons han sacado su nuevo sencillo hace tan solo una semana. Se llama 'When You Touch Me' y por supuesto ya esta en el top 40 de las lista de exitos en el Reino Unido, con su tipica clase y maravillosa voz fenemina en el tema. Disfrutad el video, es una autentica delicia como a la que los Freemasons nos tienen acostumbrados.
